It is just still mind blowing 🤯even after so long. I just keep flashing back to what we were taught that 90% of entire population made their livelihoods as agrarian folk. As my great grandparents on both sides were farmers. Yet seeing this fancy ornate architecture I can’t help but imagine them more like “do you happen to have any Grey Poupon?”
I think that’s what the main reason was for all these asylums from the 1800s was to wash the memories from the old world from these poor souls who knew how great it once was.
My maternal grandma’s parents came from Prussia and settled in Janssen , NE- close to Lincoln- in 1884. They came to work as farmers on leased land with lots of other families. They remained poor, but the land owner had a massive house.
There are so many channels covering the topics you do that I get them mixed up. I may have been subbed to you for a short while just to grab together as many of these channels for myself as I could, but I think I just now started getting into the detail of your particular channel. You know, I chose history as something to major in after high school. It was fairly easy for me because I like the subject, that's why I picked it. The hardest part was when the academe set in front of you the things that historians do, which is mostly to check out stories in the microfiche lab. So really you're getting your historical knowledge from the mass media of the given time, namely, newspaper clippings. You aren't taught to give careful consideration to any accompanying photographs. Now I realize that's because the photographs so often tell a different story than the print. It's best to examine the photographs the same way an archaeologist would examine an artifact. Many more conclusions can be drawn, and they often don't fit the narrative. You can then go back to that narrative to select out the information that appears to be more statistical, and relate that to what the photographs seem to reveal.
I like how you show the population charts of the cities you're discussing. Even if Lincoln, Nebraska were on the East Coast abreast to Ellis Island, it still would be impossible to get 50,000 people to have settled in and construct such advanced infrastructure in a 10-year stretch, without electricity, power tools, or rail line. I looked up temperatures for Lincoln, Nebraska,..in January, 15,1927, Lincoln Nebraska dipped down to 34° below zero.
Something that my brain can't ever quite wrap around is 1880's, 1890's ... Horse and buggy, Little House on the Prairie...then BAM! 1900-1920 skyscrapers, electric trollies, electric lights, lights, camera, action. How? It just doesn't add up in my head 😔
yes and note the same story for every town and city in the whole area, there must have been just a enormous supply of skilled trades bricklayers, iron workers, excavators, to just throw up buildings at a rapid pace everywhere at the same time lol. I've worked construction in the modern boom towns and there is just absolutely no way any of these stories check out at all whatsover. period. We have been lied to massively.
The railroad was the real estate agent who sold the land to people in the east and gave them a railcar to move their belongings. not really that unimaginable if you know the history of the railroad.
My family moved to Nebraska from various parts of the world. It's cool to see a little history. I wonder if the population dip between 1880 and 1890 wasn't people leaving Lincoln for the surrounding towns and settlements. Also bricks were invented in America in the 1600s...
Hiya OWE. Another wonderful video. Lincoln sure has a strange narrative (as most places do) A lot of these structures were 'built' so close to Lincoln's founding date, that I find it very hard to believe. A lot of incredible old world buildings; such massive size and unique looking architecture for the time period in an area wrought with harsh winters, flooding and tornadoes. Also, you need a really tall state capitol building in a relatively flat prairie region for some reason. Nice job, bud. Thanks. Cheers!
Yeah, you got me with your intro to this video lol. It gets me every time how the buildings are so massive, you could hold the entire population inside one of those buildings. I think we need to bring back insane asylums tbh. Hold on, Lincoln was established in 1870 with 2000 people but, the picture of the prison was dated 1869 hummm.
I love the very first picture and the very last picture in this video. It's great the way you start by saying, "wait what the hell is that?". Getting people's attention in this topic is difficult, as you know better than anyone. You got to slam dunk them with a great introduction to get people's attention and then to reinforce the information with a great ending. I noticed the water tower on top of the last photo. I'm not sure if it's a drawing or the actual photo. Either way it's definitely added to the building after it was built, in my opinion. Who knows how they got their water in those days. I really like the way you ask people to engage with you in other ways than just watching the video. I knew there was something wrong with the world the very first day of school. Even a six-years-old I knew adults were mostly insane. I didn't know anything about racism until I got to school. I grew up in a dinky little town called Painesville Ohio. My town is full of old world buildings. There was a 4-story mansion right across the street from my home that I used to go exploring in as a kid. The house was abandoned and of course torn down.
Imagine a civilization that maintained peace worldwide for one thousand years. They could cover the realm with exquisite architecture in that amount of time. It already happened. Hallelujah!
"grandson horse" hahahahaha all these videos don't just question the narrative, they blow it right out of the water. i just can't get enough of those old world buildings. thank you for showing this.
Let's not forget that the state capitol there is one of the new 8 wonders of the world. It's an incredibly beautiful building. In which a lot of it is sectioned off from tourists. Very odd.
Looks like it just was higher density development due to the lack of cars. The towers thta you showed as ether stuff is just a clock tower. Very cool to see these old pictures. wish some of these buildings were more preserved but yea. That's probably it.
My granddaughter loves watching your videos with me… I love that she’s learning it’s ok to question things and that it’s ok to not just accept everything she’s being told :)
I almost had my daughter join me on this one...it's been a while since a jr explorer joined me. I'm glad your granddaughter enjoys the vids. All we need is the truth..
William Jennings Bryan was a politician who was the democratic nominee for president and lost all 3 times to Republicans in the 1890s and 1900s. Eventually he would serve as the secretary of state on the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson. I know they have the hospital named after him in town close to where he lived.
I theorize that the "side walks are perfect", it's an extension of the building or the top of the next one. Where you would go to catch the next blimp, train or walk from building to building. We invented sidewalks because they have to stop digging at some point.
Could you do some digging on Omaha, NE at some point? Omaha is an interesting city, especially the "old market" district. The old market is literally full of brick buildings. Same thing with bricktown in OKC. I'd also love to to see something on St. Joseph, MO. There are some beautiful buildings in St. Joe.
Cotner University is not the same as Union College. If i remember correctly it was where Madonna hospital is now or it could have been upnorth in Bethany
I have been inside some of these buildings, as well as others not shown here. There are basements and sub basements with obviously bricked in windows and doors. The miller and paine building is supposed to be connected to the tunnel system, i was unable to locate the access point in the short amount of time that i was in the basement. I have heard stories of these tunnels but have not found access other than the filled in doorways in sub basements. There is also a new 20 something story building downtown that has an entire floor used as a child sex traffic hub that is accessable to members only. Possibly also connected to the tunnel system.
The sex trafficking ring part was absolutely true. However I always heard that took place to move the victims around in the tunnels of omaha, not lincoln. All tied into the Franklin credit union scandal.
Looking at the population during and after the Spanish flu for all cities and states are way off. Just about all during that time grew in population even though they tell us 50 million died worldwide. His-story the victors write their own
Could you please expound upon what you're saying at about 16:30? It caught my attention. Very much. People who had memories not understanding the Reset? I am SO interested in hearing more about this ... intuitively I think you hit a bullseye 🎯
What if the memories would creep back in? What if they still do? Maybe alcohol/entertainment/religion were used to keep the mind from remembering? Now it's got me wondering about cannabis and the campaign to make it illegal back in the 30's...
You don't know who WJB was!? He was the losing lawyer in the Scopes Monkey trial and a presidential candidate. Several of these wonderful buildings are still extant
I love your sardonic wit. And I'm working my way thru your videos. One wee thing - the builders of these mysteriously old buildings - were they slaves? Like modern day migrant workers in qatar? I'm trying to make some sense outta this and widespread slavery could be an open idea?
Wow the population figures are very telling. I keep seeing that the 1890s are a very unique decade. It's supposedly the one in which my grandparents were born, and things are so murky about all of them. They were common people. Here it is. We were messed with as a family, and those who messed with us will have their comeuppins. There won't be any help for them in the place where you gnash your teeth....
I keep wondering what the native American peoples were doing in these reset time periods? Do they have any clues in any of thier oral history? Do they ever make any mention of this great lost society?
Does anyone have a clear picture of the past? What do any of us have to rely on for that clarity? The world fairs played a large role in resetting the cultural landscape. Tee pees for ten thousand years? I have my doubts....sensitive topic but still needs unearthing..
@@oldworldex It sure does. How come the "American Indian" doesn't have a narrative about these giant fabulous painted structures sticking out of the ground? ...Everywhere! They certainly don't claim to have lived in them. It is soooooo DeeP!
Yes, we really have no freaking clue what has been scrubbed from this our history, or lack there of. And I want to assure you I'm not questioning your research, I was just a question that came to mind, maybe an angle for research? Supposed 1st nation's peoples had many name for sasquatch, or a forest people, witch I believe inhabit many parts of the world, which we are also being lied to about
I grew up in Lincoln and remember many of these old buildings. However I am going to MUTE this NARRATOR because I think he's just way out in left field for whatever reason I'm not sure

That’s what I now think as well
It's logical when you start to connect the dots..
You and I both!
No doubt. I completely agree!
that much is obvious. and heartbreaking.

Love your videos hopefully one day you can do all state capitals noticed you haven’t done Texas or Florida yet
Also do a video on old state capitols
Yes, our memory gets wiped everytime we die and follow the tunnel of light, guided by our previously deceased "loved one."
PLS do old world Milwaukee Wisconsin
Basilica of St. Josphat and the Pabst Mansion are remarkable. The Old Soldiers Home next to American Family Field is out of this world.
Worldwide economic depression around 1890? I don't doubt it but it's the first time I've heard it spoken of. Got to look into it more....

Well the sex trafficking part isn’t true at all but ya I’ve heard of the tunnels under lincoln. Just part of the old infrastructure not a big deal.
The sex trafficking ring part was absolutely true. However I always heard that took place to move the victims around in the tunnels of omaha, not lincoln. All tied into the Franklin credit union scandal.
So captivating. Thanks for these videos. Ever look into H.B. Plant Museum aka Old Tampa Bay Hotel. "Moorish revival". Extraordinary minarets.

Lincoln was 60 miles from the cattle capital of the world. The nickname of the capital building is "the prick of the plains."
Actually we call it the “Penis of the Prairie”
Great video OWE. This town has some less than fond memories for a variety of reasons. One of the tower capitols instead of a dome.
Hey can you elaborate?
I like your content, so I'm curious.
are you speaking in code ? ....HA AHA HA !
